Srinagar is completely shut by the government officials regarding the Muharram. Several Shia mourners were detained and journalists allegedly thrashed by the police, as the Jammu and Kashmir administration barred Muharram procession in Srinagar’s Lal Chowk on Tuesday. Concertina wires and barricades were erected on several stretches to stop Shias, who traditionally organise processions on 8th of Muharram in areas around Lal Chowk that would culminate at Dalgate. Locals said several mourners were detained when they tried to cross the barricades and converge onto the streets of Lal Chowk. Many were carrying placards with Islamic and ‘free Kashmir’ slogans written on them. The police used tear-smoke shells and resorted to baton charge to disperse the mourners. Many were seen being pushed into police vehicles. #Muharram2021 #SrinagarNews #Headlines News18 Urdu is one of India's leading news channels in the Urdu language.
